Huge, potentially diabetes-inducing photopost

Funny story: while the mother and the rest of her babies went for a swim, this little guy stayed behind with the father trying to get him to go in. The mother eventually joined in on this. Obviously, I couldn't capture the moment in still shots, but it was really entertaining to watch.

THEY GET BIG SO FAST

To compare, here's a new goose family.

Tried to get a comparison shot of both of the families.

Baby duck in the transitioning stage to adulthood. It was weird, s/he just...

...waddled up right to me...

...and seemed to pose for the camera.

Then went off to join the rest of the family.

Couple more of those almost-no-longer-baby ducks waddled up to me. Camera started dicking around with me, hence the shaky shot.

Was able to get a better shot with the mom, though.

Mom of thirteen. THIRTEEN! (On Friday the Thirteenth, no less!)

The yellow one's my favorite.

Last good shot I could get of them before they swam away. Hoping I can catch them again before they start growing up.
